The OP was/is not a fallen hero, being viciously pecked at by the mob, so enough with the don't kick him when he is down bullshit. When someone posts a "farewell/suicide post which in reality is just a whiny diatribe against some perceived "injustice", he/she deserves a full measure of ridicule. Damned drama queens anyway.
I didn't say that he is a hero, fallen or not. Neither did i say that he doesn't deserve it.
What i said: that if something has been said, it doesn't needed to be repeated.
If something has been said in 5 posts in a row, it doesn't need to be repeated for sure.
Each joke is funny exactly once.

Were kinder for you to verbally kick me before I anger the mob, than wait until they have me down on the ground so you can step in and save me.

I think it's great that Debian allows us to be individuals and there are as many ways to run it as there are users. People have the freedom to experiment, install whatever they want, and crash, trash or abuse their system any way they want. Package management is a complicated subject though, and it seems like a little democracy is a good idea here. Appears to me that most of the voters, and most of the documentation are opposed to running testing or unstable packages on stable.

I think it's great that the OP tried it anyway, because anybody can learn from his own mistakes.

Following on from the link to the fable, it seems an opportune moment to dust off this old chestnut ...

a) Where did i attack you verbally?
b) Which mob is having at you, and where?
c) Where did i say i wanted to save anyone?

I said that i consider such group-behavior disgusting. That was all. If that is a verbal attack: OK (for the ones part of such groups it sure is) But it doesn't mean that i plan to save anyone, only that i don't plan to join such groups. Which is exactly what i have said
( and you quoted it yourself: " Simply not joining the mob is what i mean (not everyone is a hero, and one doesn't need to be").

I think it's great that Debian allows us to be individuals
Does it mean it is ok that i have my say, that i object, or shall i add a few silly and running-gag jokes too? It shouldn't be too hard to quote a bit of what i find here. Can i join then? Will i feel fuzzy and warm? Yes, i will.
It is warm in the crowd, but it stinks.

Debian is not a hand holding distro. Don't let the door slap you in the back.

Meh.
That has been around a long time and Debian has had that reputation for a long time.
Unjustly from my experience.

Maybe Debian attracts people with a certain 'sense of humour'.

Maybe it is a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Maybe those who see that are looking too hard for it and either sub or consiously find justification of their prejudices, their responses generating a feedback loop leading inevitably to the conclusion they were already expecting.

Text based communication is notably lacking in context, giving great scope for people to 'fill in the blanks' as suits their own position.

The world is not perfect.

At the end of the day this is only an anonymous internet forum, participation is by choice.
Take what you want, leave what you don't.
I see no point getting dramatic or personal or taking anything to heart.

It's not like anybody got their front door kicked in and beaten for 'doing it wrong'.

I saw "You should do it like this, and we can help with that".

For whatever reason, he saw it different.

So, again, meh.

If one goes through life with a giant chip on their shoulder; always looking for something to be pissed over, life will unfailingly oblige in providing that something. 'nuff said.

I will try to replace the chip with a parrot.

Got one to share? Or a how-to-attract them? They are around you like bees around honey (to avoid flies around crap).

Wait, i don't think life will provide me with such, as i am not looking for them ... "if one goes thrugh life looking for blind and dumb fanboys -juniors- life will unfailingly provide them" Yes? Or does it only work the other way around?
Now speak to us, master. What shall we say next?

Just poke out one eye, cut off one leg and a hand, and a parrot should arrive forthwith.
It may even bring you a cool hat :)

I'm sorry, Aris Veresie, but I fail to see what's your problem with this Forum.
I am quite new to this Forum, and I have also asked for help on this Forum, and I got help.
( I also give help where I can. )

I do not know what is your definition of help, but I include "advice" into the category of help.

The Users which have posted in your threads have given valid answers, which you do not want to acknowledge.
The Users help where they can and where they want to help.

If you can't maintain your system, and they aren't willing to maintain it for you, then who will?

They have pointed out that a mixed system is a mess, and that they can't/wont help you with that.

If you aren't willing to tackle the problem with a different approach then you are simply ignorant.

Incorrect. Most of the inhabitants will help someone with a mixed system - if they are actually running a mixed system.

A mixed system is: testing + unstable (+ experimental)

A mixed system is not: stable + testing (+ unstable + experimental + stable backports) as the OP seemed to think...

If someone still wants to run the second option and gets in a huff when the answer is "# apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade" - then they're free to continue running their mess as they see fit, but shouldn't expect others to bail them out when it breaks (as it did - no surprises there).

Why should anyone waste their own precious time helping someone else to polish their turd?

Safest option is Stable.
Next safest option is Stable + Backports.
However, Stable + Testing is a recipe for disaster.
You live and you learn.
Have fun with all the pieces.

I misread your post from the other Thread, my bad.
( I never tried a mixed system. )
